Fringe Benefits

Fringe is a huge trend in beachwear for 2012. Here are a few special pieces that incorporate the swinging accent.

LSpace Audrey Foxy Tab Bikini

This Halter top from LSpace ties at the neck. It is a great top for those looking to boost the look of their bust. The shape of the fringe elongates the torso and adds fullness to the bust. It comes in a hot citron shade and is paired with a cool print bottom.

Dolly Black Fringe Bandeau and Foxy Tab Bottom

A LBB (Little Black Bikini) is a very stylish look on the beach. In a past post, we profiled all of the celebs that prefer to wear a classic black bikini including Gisele and Demi Moore. The fringe on this bikini takes is from simple to sexy. We expect this to sell out fast! We also have it in white!

LSpace Ave Poncho in White

This cool cover-up incorporates two big trends right now ponchos and fringe. The wide sleeves and slouchy shape create a bohemian but modern silhouette. It will be a lot of fun to wear and super comfy too. This also comes in black.

LSpace Stardust Fringe 1 Piece in Teal

If a 1 piece is your thing, this is the fringe swimsuit for you. This has to be one of the hottest monokinis created this season. It has a deep V neckline which creates a nice long lean look while the fringe accent adds volume to the bustline. The cut-outs at the side provide the illusion of a perfect hourglass figure. This comes in dark teal and white.

Despi Athens Bourganville Bikini

For a more subtle hit of fringe try this Despi Athens Bikini. It features long fringe details on the ends of the string bikini bottom. It gives you the luxurious touch of fringe but without looking the least bit boho. This style also comes in a soft blue leopard print.

Agua Bendita Bendita La Rochelle

This sexy bikini from Agua Bendita gives you fringe with a lingerie twist. It also is one of the few bikinis out there that have fringe on the bikini bottom. In this suit, shimmery emerald fabric is combined with golden thread Spanish ribbon and ivory fringes for a sexy, feminine statement.

Agua Bendita Bendita Zimbabwe

For the most opulent dose of fringe, try the Agua Bendita Bendita Zimbabwe. The triangle top is covered in multicolor beaded fringe. The bikini bottom is accented with a beaded fringe in a bright tribal pattern.

The Great Cover-up

Cover-ups are beach fashion's unsung hero. They conceal all the right places and give just a hint at what is below. The right cover-up can carry you from street to beach in style.  We are super excited about the cover-ups designers are coming out with this season. Here are a few favorites:


1. LSpace Ave Poncho
Ponchos back with a bang, they were all over the Fall 2011 and Spring 2012 runways at shows like Alexander Wang. We love how LSpace has brought this trend into beachwear. The fringe along the hem and sleeves adds another stylish element to this design. We might even try wearing this one off the beach.

2.  LSpace Camila Dress - 
This beautiful maxi cover-up makes us swoon. The ling slit down the middle creates a long line that is slimming and very glamorous. What's even better is that it is done in a bright, girly floral, bringing a fresh energy to this sexy beach casual.

3. Pily Q Love You Dress
This is hands-down the perfect baby doll cover-up. It is so lovely in person with lots of pretty details in the fabric and construction that make the quality show through. It comes in black and white and is lined so it can easily be worn as a dress too.

 

4.Despi Renaiscence Aguamarine Cover-up

Cotton eyelet cover-ups are always feminine and comfy to slip on. The Renaiscence cover-up comes in this right teal shade and crisp white. The focal point is the zig-zag lace hemline.

5. Despi Beijing Cover-up

You don't need to bare it all to transmit sex appeal. This flowy blue tunic is a sheer fabric will leave you feeling wrapped in glamour. We can bet that this will look great on a range of body types too.

One is never enough get a cover-up for every occasion. See our new 2012 cover-ups from brands like Despi, LSpace, PilyQ and more here.

Celeb Swim Style

Mom-to-be Beyonce isn’t shy about her baby bump. She sunned her tummy in Croatia in a white ruffled two piece. We could also see her in this more colorful floral number the Bendita Munich from Agua Bendita.

 

Rhianna likes edgy swimsuits and is often seen in animal prints, neon and neutral tones. She was spotted this August in this strappy number. An even sexier, strappy two-piece would be the Muy Caliente V Bring Bandeau from Luli Fama. 

No one looked hotter on the red carpet at the Emmy's this past Sunday than Sofia Vergara. She looks best on Modern Family in rich jewel tones and curve hugging silhouettes. A tube style bikini top with adjustable cups like the Despi Copacabana in this rich purple shade would be a stunner on her figure.

Kim Kardashian lives in swimwear or at least that is what one would gather from the tabloid coverage of her. This week she is on the cover of US Weekly in an Aqua Vix Bia Tube Bikini. This tube style Classic Black Bikini from Caffe has luxurious turquoise hardware and would look great paired with her cover-up.  

 

 

Katie Holmes has become a bit of a fashion icon since becoming Mrs. Tom Cruise but she still retains her girl next door style which helped her earn stardom. She would want a classic cut and often wears stripes. For her, we like the new Luli Fama Isla Bonita Bikini.
